Tablets

Call it a Pixel. Just don't call it a Chromebook.
OK, so the new Google Pixel C looks very much like the Chromebook Pixel. Same beautiful aluminum. Same sleek lines. This one's decidedly Android, though (thus no "Chromebook" moniker, never mind how many times I type it by mistake), and it very much is in the ilk of the Microsoft Surface and perhaps the new iPad Pro.
It's part tablet, part...

Though Google enthusiasts know the Pixel name in relation to the two generations of high-end Chromebooks, Google today announced a new Pixel C tablet that's actually powered by Android. Distinctly separate from the Nexus program, the Pixel C isn't built with a hardware partner — this is all Google.

KD Interactive has launched several kid-friendly Android tablets over the years, and the latest iteration of the vendor's efforts in this segment, the Kurio Xtreme 2, is touted as its most durable yet. The $129 tablet features modest specifications, with the major highlight being Android 5.0.

HTC is currently offering the 16GB Wi-Fi variant of the Nexus 9 for just $239 on its official US store. The tablet is available in the black color variant, with the pricing similar to what we've seen in the "One day to save big" promotion held in the month of July.

E FUN has announced two new Android tablets, the Nextboook Ares 8L and 10L, both of which can connect to Verizon's 4G LTE network. The new tablets, like the rest of E FUN's tablets, can be purchased from Walmart, either on contract or full retail. The Ares 8L is the 8-inch version, while the 10L is the 10-incher, though both of them share a number of the same specs. On both, you will find a...

Apple just showed off their all-new iPad Pro, and we wanted to see how it stacks up against a couple of the best current Android tablets out there — the Nexus 9 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2.

At IFA 2015, we got a hands-on look at the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Pro. Lenovo is calling the ultimate video tablet. It's got a 10-inch display, a built-in 70-inch projector, and four front-facing speakers. Watch our hands-on video to see it action.

Amazon may be about to go down to a new low in terms of prices for its Fire line of tablets. A new report says the company is planning to sell a 6-inch tablet this fall that will be priced at just $50. That's about half the cost of the current Fire HD 6 tablet, which Amazon is selling for $99.

With all of the new products coming from Motorola in the last couple of weeks, like the Moto 360 (2015), Moto X Pure Edition, and Moto X Play, it's getting tricky to figure out what's coming out when and where. Some of these have release dates, others only have windows, some are already out. Some may not even be coming to your country, and many aren't sold by service providers. We'll be...

Alcatel Onetouch is refreshing its line of affordable Pixi tablets at IFA 2015, with the introduction of the Pixi 3 (10). As the name would suggest this is a 10-inch entry in the low-cost and colorful Pixi line, and it's available in both 3G and Wifi-only variants.

The idea of a tablet playing a central role in a family's day-to-day life isn't exactly a new one. We've seen any number of manufacturers give this a shot, to varying degrees of success. Now it's Alcatel's turn, with the 17.3-inch Xess. Yes, you read that right, it's a 17-inch Android tablet. But it's also decently thought out, even if we're in the early days on execution.
Let's take a...

After it wrapped up officially unveiling the new Gear S2 smartwatch, Samsung once again gave us a tease for a new product — this time it's the "Galaxy View" tablet. The limited views we got of the device show a big, wide-screen form factor with some sort of a kickstand or case on the back. Obviously leaving the rest up to our imaginations.

If you are looking to purchase a new tablet, and have been eyeing Samsung's latest, the Galaxy Tab S2, you are likely wondering where to pick one up. Pre-orders for the tablet began in the middle of August, and the tablet is now officially available.

They all offer optional LTE connectivity as...
